docs: AI Tools Evaluation Report implementation tracking (#842)

Add docs/research/ai-tools-evaluation-842.md tracking the status of all
5 recommendations from the awesome-ai-tools investigation.

Status:
- P1 Mem0 → IMPLEMENTED (plugins/memory/mem0 + mem0_local, 36 tests passing)
- P2 LightRAG → NOT STARTED (blocker: local embedding endpoint)
- P3 tensorzero → NOT STARTED (blocker: Rust infra, gradual migration)
- P4 RAGFlow → NOT STARTED (blocker: multi-service Docker)
- P5 n8n → NOT STARTED (blocker: full app stack)

Also notes existing integrations for llama.cpp and mempalace.

Closes #842

+# AI Tools Evaluation Report (#842)
+
+**Source:** [formatho/awesome-ai-tools](https://github.com/formatho/awesome-ai-tools)  
+**Date:** 2026-04-15  
+**Tools Analyzed:** 414 across 9 categories  
+**Scope:** Hermes-agent integration potential
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Scanned 414 tools from awesome-ai-tools. Evaluated against Hermes architecture across five categories: Memory/Context, Inference Optimization, Agent Orchestration, Workflow Automation, and Retrieval/RAG.
+
+## Top 5 Recommendations & Implementation Status
+
+### P1 — Mem0 (Memory/Context) ✅ IMPLEMENTED
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| GitHub | [mem0ai/mem0](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0) |
+| Stars | 53.1k ⭐ |
+| Integration Effort | 3/5 |
+| Impact | 5/5 |
+
+**Status:** Both cloud (mem0ai) and local (ChromaDB) variants implemented.
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- `plugins/memory/mem0/` — Platform API provider with server-side LLM extraction, semantic search, reranking
+- `plugins/memory/mem0_local/` — Sovereign local variant using ChromaDB, no API key required
+- Tools: `mem0_profile`, `mem0_search`, `mem0_conclude`
+- Circuit breaker for resilience
+- 36 tests passing across both providers
+
+**Activation:**
+```bash
+hermes memory setup    # select "mem0" or "mem0_local"
+```
+
+**Risk mitigation:** OSS-only features used in `mem0_local`. Cloud version uses freemium API but has circuit-breaker fallback.
+
+---
+
+### P2 — LightRAG (Retrieval/RAG) 🔴 NOT STARTED
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| GitHub | [HKUDS/LightRAG](https://github.com/HKUDS/LightRAG) |
+| Stars | 33.1k ⭐ |
+| Integration Effort | 3/5 |
+| Impact | 4/5 |
+
+**Proposed integration:**
+- Local knowledge base for skill references and codebase understanding
+- Index GENOME.md, README.md, and key architecture files
+- Query via tool call when agent needs contextual understanding (not just keyword search)
+- Complements `search_files` without replacing it
+
+**Blocker:** Requires OpenAI-compatible embedding endpoint. Can use local Ollama via compatibility layer.
+
+**Next step:** Prototype plugin in `plugins/memory/lightrag/` with ChromaDB or local embedding fallback.
+
+---
+
+### P3 — tensorzero (Inference Optimization / LLMOps) 🔴 NOT STARTED
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| GitHub | [tensorzero/tensorzero](https://github.com/tensorzero/tensorzero) |
+| Stars | 11.2k ⭐ |
+| Integration Effort | 3/5 |
+| Impact | 4/5 |
+
+**Proposed integration:**
+- Replace custom provider routing, fallback chains, and token tracking
+- Intelligent routing across providers with cost/quality optimization
+- Automatic prompt optimization based on feedback
+- Evaluation metrics for A/B testing model/provider combinations
+
+**Blocker:** Rust-based infrastructure. Requires careful migration of existing provider logic. Best done as gradual opt-in, not replacement.
+
+**Next step:** Evaluate tensorzero gateway as optional `providers.tensorzero` backend.
+
+---
+
+### P4 — RAGFlow (Retrieval/RAG) 🔴 NOT STARTED
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| GitHub | [infiniflow/ragflow](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow) |
+| Stars | 77.9k ⭐ |
+| Integration Effort | 4/5 |
+| Impact | 4/5 |
+
+**Proposed integration:**
+- Deploy as local Docker service for document understanding
+- Ingest technical docs, research papers, codebases
+- Query via HTTP API when agents need deep document comprehension
+
+**Blocker:** Heavy deployment (multi-service Docker). Best suited for always-on infrastructure, not per-session.
+
+**Next step:** Add RAGFlow API client tool in `tools/ragflow_tool.py` for document querying.
+
+---
+
+### P5 — n8n (Workflow Automation) 🔴 NOT STARTED
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| GitHub | [n8n-io/n8n](https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n) |
+| Stars | 183.9k ⭐ |
+| Integration Effort | 4/5 |
+| Impact | 5/5 |
+
+**Proposed integration:**
+- Orchestrate Hermes agents from external events (webhooks, schedules)
+- Visual workflow builder for burn loops, PR pipelines, multi-agent chains
+- n8n webhooks trigger Hermes cron jobs or fleet dispatches
+
+**Blocker:** Full application stack (Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis). Deploy as standalone Docker service.
+
+**Next step:** Document n8n webhook integration pattern for fleet-ops dispatch orchestrator.
+
+---
+
+## Honorable Mentions Already in Stack
+
+| Tool | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| llama.cpp | ✅ Integrated | Via Ollama local inference |
+| mempalace | ✅ Integrated | Holographic memory system (44.8k ⭐) |
